Truths come and go…

“The good thing about science is that it’s true whether or not you believe in it.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson

I’ve seen this on Facebook a lot recently, so I felt the need to respond.

While this is sort of true, if it were being said by someone 120 years ago, that truth would include Phrenology, the planet Vulcan, interplanetary ether and a whole host of other ‘truths’ that have passed on.

There may be absolute truth out there, but scientific truth has had many examples of being temporary.  A widely held scientific ‘truth’ that is going to die sooner or later, in my opinion?  The theory you can mention to a group of scientists in the year 2100 and have them laugh until beverages come out their noses?  The Big Bang Theory.

Abbotsford

I live in Abbotsford, BC.  It is on the south bank of the Fraser River, 60 km east of Vancouver.  It is Canada’s 23rd largest city, home to 133,000 people.  I’m not from here originally, and if I ever move away it’s unlikely I’d come back.  It is one of the warmest places in Canada, it’s one of only three cities that has an average annual temperature above 10 C.  It’s also one of the rainiest and the least windy.  Straight to the south is Bellingham, Washington, the least sunny city in the USA.

It placed fourth in a survey to find Canada’s most boring city.  (The winner, of course, was Ottawa, which is the Super Bowl of tedium.)   You can’t get dim sum here, or even a really top notch Mexican dinner.  We used to have an AHL hockey team, but it left for lack of fan interest.

It didn’t help that some Einsteins moved the minor league affiliate of the Calgary Flames – our local Canucks’ biggest rival – to our dull little berg.  Most games the fans would cheer for whoever was playing against Abbotsford.  On the upside, they had a loonie/twoonie night where you could buy a $1 hot dog and a $2 beer.  We each blew $20 on beer and needed help getting home.

One year not long ago, we led Canada by having the country’s highest murder rate.  The next year that left too, and we didn’t have a murder the entire year.

Both cipla viagra have also been linked to loss of penile sensation. On the second weekend of August each year the airport – Canada’s 6th busiest – holds the Abbotsford Air Show, which bills itself as the largest show of its type in the world.  This I don’t understand, surely those air shows other places are larger, so maybe this one is a niche air show in some way.  So for a few hours in the afternoons of three days, the sky is full of planes and action.  Our house gets buzzed by fighter jets right about when my wife is trying to sleep after a graveyard shift.

Almost every picture you see of Abbotsford that is trying to hype the place contains an image of Mt Baker.  It looks great, but the snow capped volcano isn’t even in Canada, it’s in Washington State.

So having pumped the place up, you want to buy my house?

City Folks who Drive Trucks

If you live in an apartment, condo or townhouse, and have no aspirations to spend time driving off road, you should be forbidden from owning a full sized truck.  If your only use for this gas-sucking, growling monstrocity is to bully people in sensible cars and feel like a big tough guy for a while, then you also may need therapy.  There is a strong liklihood you are an aggressive driver who is causing accidents and anxieties wherever you go.  I was recently reading a study done by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, which rated the amount of personal danger certain vehicles were causing to themselves and others.

Of course, if you need a truck for work, or you actually go off-road to find a place to go camping, or you have some land and are hauling fencing or making dump runs, then a truck is for you.  I’m just thinking the world would be a little safer, and the air a little cleaner, if every truck owner who is tailgating in heavy traffic while imagining revenge on the guy who stole his lunch money in grade 6 was removed from his truck and given a Smart car.

Expect Nothing

People get their expectations distorted by popular media.  It is never more noticeable than holidays.  For me, I don’t care how many times I see it in a show, I’m not singing carols on Christmas or wearing a big itchy sweater.  I’m also not buying a huge heart shaped diamond pendant for my loved one for Valentine’s.  If that is a condition for affection, there is a problem.

I do maintenance on water meters for my latest job.  I’ve never seen anyone, in any show, do such a thing, so my expectations are zero.  In TV land, you either work in a cubicle, as a health professional or a cop.  What else is there?  Maybe a rare example of an outlier career exists, but only as an exception.

How about a young person having those first stirrings of sexual attraction and looking to the media for hints for what to expect?  Pop music will give the idea that he or she should be deliriously in love forever.  I remember going through puberty with my AM radio crackling its way through one mushy love song after another, filling my naive little head with useless expectations.  Today’s youth watches porn and no doubt has another sort of expectation, especially about things like pizza deliveries and nurses.

As a rule, the lower your expectations are going into something, the better it will look in reality.

Your point of view, how you imagine yourself and your surroundings are measuring up, is everything.  Two people can be born in the same place and time and one thinks he is in heaven, the other hell.  If you can swing it, picturing yourself in paradise will certainly improve your mood and health.

Ducking the Kardashian Enema

I don’t watch a lot of TV, and I don’t buy gossip magazines.  This is lucky for me, because it permits me a little shelter from the Kardashian overexposure.  They have a reality TV show and are addicted, it would seem, to the attention.  The family pulls off one giant stunt after another to stay in the spotlight.  Sex tapes, fake marriages, a sex change here and there. Fine with me.  It just galls me how much coverage they get for ridiculous things like small domestic disputes, new hair styles or showing one of their enormous asses in print.  These people aren’t saving lives.  They don’t even entertain people in any talent-related way.  They don’t sing, dance, write or educate.  I guess it could be argued they act a little bit, but the merits of that are open to debate.  But there they are on the cover of every magazine in the grocery store, a gawdy troup of self-absorbed twits preening for the cameras.

So I missed having them shoved up my ass to some extent by consuming less than an average amount of media.  That’s good for me because as a hockey fan in Canada, I already have had the Toronto Maple Leafs shoved up my ass, and there is no  room for the Kardashians.

The Big Shop

My parents got married in August, 1960.  They had built a little house on some land my grandfather owned and were moving in.  My mom went shopping for food.  We’ve all had that shopping trip – the initial one when you have to buy everything. These project opportunities are highlighted in the Libyan Projects Market post-conflict. “Contractors spoken to viagra online discount as part of this medication is that you can take this at anytime of the day or night.

Why I Prefer Hockey over Football

Well another Super Bowl , er, Big Game, has come and gone without me watching.  I watched the last couple of years because the local-ish Seattle Seahawks were involved, but I have no regional or personal stake in Carolina or Denver.  I’m sure they’re very nice places, and the teams are probably popping with interesting stories, so it’s my loss in the end.  I got in a little discussion today about the amount of actual playing time there is in an NFL game, and I dug about and found the statistics.

An average NFL telecast is 3 hours and 12 minutes which is comprised of:

63 minutes of commercials,

67 minutes of shots of the players wandering around,

35 minutes of shots of the crowd, coaches, cheerleaders etc.,

15 minutes of replays,

and lastly, 11 minutes of football being played.

I am quoting the article, and I notice it doesn’t quite add up, but that’s the way it was presented.  Where hockey comes in, in my comparison, is that the average hockey telecast is about 2 hours 40 minutes and includes at least 60 full minutes of action, dotted with ads, players spitting and two 17 minute intermissions.  It’s a whole lot more bang for your buck.  Add in the guys skating around at 25 mph with razors on their boots, and shooting a rubber bullet 100 mph and you have a nice fast, dangerous sport.  Hell, they’re even allowed to fight.

 

About Me

Hi there.  My name is Brian and I live in Abbotsford, British Columbia.  I have a menial job – doing maintenance on  water meters – which would be pretty normal except that I am in Mensa.   It suits me in a way, because I have always stayed away from attention, and I get to work alone most of the time.  The main bad side to avoiding attention is when it trickles into my personal life, where I tend to keep even my friends at arm’s length.  Mostly people seem to regard me as a little eccentric.  Slippery and easily overlooked.  I have toyed with the idea that I may have some form of Autism Lite which permits me to function reasonably well in society but keeps me a little bit of a lone wolf.  By the way, when I say Autism Lite, I am in no way minimalizing the condition of people who actually have autism.

I am 53.  I have lived with the same great woman for 18 years, and despite my claim of being slightly anti social, I have successfully managed to reproduce.
This blog will be a day to day stream of rants, observations and nonsense.  Hopefully you will find it interesting.
